Title: Preview pane for touch input devices
Inventor: SKINNER JEFFREY E
IPC: G06F17/24
Filed: 2015-08-18
Abstract: This invention is for a device that can receive text input, such as a touch pad, phone or computer. The text is displayed on the main display screen 401, and the user then places their cursor within the text 403. A portion of the text where the cursor is placed is then displayed on the secondary, or sub, screen 404, located above the keyboard or text input device 405. The advantage is that this means that users who need to look at the keyboard while they type do not need to stop to check that they are typing what they intended to. There may also be a visual indicator on the display screen indicating which text is being displayed on the preview pane 402. The user may be able to edit the text in the preview pane. The preview pane may be located on the display device. The text in the preview pane may be of a larger size than the text displayed on the display device.

Title: Fully-differential operational amplifier system
Inventor: XIN ZHAO
IPC: H03F3/45
Filed: 2017-04-27
Abstract: A fully differential amplifier system 400 comprising system input node pairs VINP/VINN and corresponding system output node pairs VOUTN/VOUTP coupled to a first operational amplifier (op-amp) having corresponding input 404A,B and output amplifier node pairs 406A,B the first operational amplifier able to adjust the output common mode component in response to a Common Mode Reference Input CMRI control voltage generated by a dynamic CMRI generator, which is preferably a signal dependent CMRI generator (SDCG 402). Input Z1 and feedback Z2 impedances may couple the op-amp and system amplifier input and output nodes. In one system embodiment the SDCG may provide a CMRI signal based on the value of system input node signals. The SDGC may include an additional operational amplifier having input and feedback impedances which scale according to the values of the input and feedback impedances associated with the first operational amplifier. The dynamic CMRI signal may be controlled such that a common-mode component of two amplifier input nodes of the operational amplifier is made approximately independent of two input signals received at two system input nodes of the amplifier system. This reduces the differential op-amp common mode ripple without incurring additional noise. An amplifier system with the dynamic CMRI may be used in class-D amplifiers, such as amplifiers for audio systems that generate output for headphones or speakers. In this alternative the SDGC may sample the output of the amplifier system to provide the dynamic CMRI voltage (figures 8-11). A method of using the system is also described.
